Small ice pick. "Klinke Ice and Fuel Co." on 2 sides of handle. "Phone 3-8841 Alton Ill." on 1 side, "Save with a Frozen Food Locker" on the other. I'm believe this was a business in Alton, Illinois as I have found a newspaper ad from 1936. I have no experience with internet research, and keep reaching dead ends trying to find out more about this business. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions? Thank you!
